Moved variable function in include/linux/lsm_audit.h into the
smack_audit_data struct since it is never used outside of it.

Also removed setting of function in the COMMON_AUDIT_DATA_INIT
macro because that variable is now private to SMACK.

the following patch, add logging of Smack security decisions.
This is of course very useful to understand what your current smack policy does.
As suggested by Casey, it also now forbids labels with ', " or \

It introduces a '/smack/logging' switch :
0: no logging
1: log denied (default)
2: log accepted
3: log denied&amp;accepted

<title>smack: Add a new '-CIPSO' option to the network address label configuration</title>

This patch adds a new special option '-CIPSO' to the Smack subsystem. When used
in the netlabel list, it means "use CIPSO networking". A use case is when your
local network speaks CIPSO and you want also to connect to the unlabeled
Internet. This patch also add some documentation describing that. The patch
also corrects an oops when setting a '' SMACK64 xattr to a file.

<title>netlabel: Cleanup the Smack/NetLabel code to fix incoming TCP connections</title>

This patch cleans up a lot of the Smack network access control code.  The
largest changes are to fix the labeling of incoming TCP connections in a
manner similar to the recent SELinux changes which use the
security_inet_conn_request() hook to label the request_sock and let the label
move to the child socket via the normal network stack mechanisms.  In addition
to the incoming TCP connection fixes this patch also removes the smk_labled
field from the socket_smack struct as the minor optimization advantage was
outweighed by the difficulty in maintaining it's proper state.

<content type='text'>
Add support for unlabeled network hosts and networks.
Relies heavily on Paul Moore's netlabel support.

Creates a new entry in /smack called netlabel. Writes to /smack/netlabel
take the form:

    A.B.C.D LABEL
or
    A.B.C.D/N LABEL

where A.B.C.D is a network address, N is an integer between 0-32,
and LABEL is the Smack label to be used. If /N is omitted /32 is
assumed. N designates the netmask for the address. Entries are
matched by the most specific address/mask pair. 0.0.0.0/0 will
match everything, while 192.168.1.117/32 will match exactly one
host.

A new system label "@", pronounced "web", is defined. Processes
can not be assigned the web label. An address assigned the web
label can be written to by any process, and packets coming from
a web address can be written to any socket. Use of the web label
is a violation of any strict MAC policy, but the web label has
been requested many times.

The nltype entry has been removed from /smack. It did not work right
and the netlabel interface can be used to specify that all hosts
be treated as unlabeled.

CIPSO labels on incoming packets will be honored, even from designated
single label hosts. Single label hosts can only be written to by
processes with labels that can write to the label of the host.
Packets sent to single label hosts will always be unlabeled.

Once added a single label designation cannot be removed, however
the label may be changed.

The behavior of the ambient label remains unchanged.

<title>smack: limit privilege by label</title>

<id>15446235367fa4a621ff5abfa4b6ebbe25b33763</id>
<content type='text'>
There have been a number of requests to make the Smack LSM
enforce MAC even in the face of privilege, either capability
based or superuser based. This is not universally desired,
however, so it seems desirable to make it optional. Further,
at least one legacy OS implemented a scheme whereby only
processes running with one particular label could be exempt
from MAC. This patch supports these three cases.

If /smack/onlycap is empty (unset or null-string) privilege
is enforced in the normal way.

If /smack/onlycap contains a label only processes running with
that label may be MAC exempt.

If the label in /smack/onlycap is the star label ("*") the
semantics of the star label combine with the privilege
restrictions to prevent any violations of MAC, even in the
presence of privilege.

Again, this will be independent of the privilege scheme.

<content type='text'>
Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM
registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module.

User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no
security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM
asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security
module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen.

LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register
by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux
and SMACK to do so.

Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on
boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and
the initial task security setup (swapper-&gt;security) is done.

Smackfs write() implementation does not put a higher bound on the number of
bytes to copy from user-space.  This may lead to a DOS attack if a malicious
`count' field is given.

Assure that given `count' is exactly the length needed for a /smack/load rule.
 In case of /smack/cipso where the length is relative, assure that `count'
does not exceed the size needed for a buffer representing maximum possible
number of CIPSO 2.2 categories.
